Pit bull doesn't get shot, or implicated. Funny local story.

CLAREMONT – In what Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid called one of the most unusual cases he’s ever seen, two men were hospitalized for injuries in a dispute over a woman Thursday morning.

Deputies responded to a call in the 5000 block of Gateway Drive in Claremont, finding one female witness, one pit bull, one man sitting on the hood of a car with a gunshot wound in the leg, and another in the backyard suffering from several dog bites in what Reid called a “love triangle, excluding the pit bull."

The incident began when William Raymond Code arrived at the scene with his pit bull and found Jordan Rafeal Norwood and the female together in bed.

Code broke out a window, threw the pit bull inside the house and climbed in alongside him, according to Reid.

Norwood came outside and locked himself in a car, followed by Code and the dog, according to Reid.

Norwood retrieved a gun from the car, before pursuing Code and the dog.

“It’s a little confusing after that, but (Norwood) ended up getting severely bitten by the pit bull, firing his weapon until all the bullets were out of it.”

Code was struck in the leg with a bullet; according to deputies, the dog did not appear to be shot.

Both men are being treated for their injuries at separate hospitals.
Reid said that the pit bull, Zeus, was taken by animal control; the female witness is being interviewed by detectives.

“The statement we have from (Code) is that he never (told the dog to attack) (Norwood); we don’t know how that started for sure yet, we’re early in the investigation,” Reid said.
“We’ve seen love triangles, but a man brought a dog to a gun fight; probably first one I’ve seen like that.”

Theye have refused their Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Theye have erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

Theye kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies

Theye have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

Theye plundered and destroyed the lives of our people.

Theye are at this time transporting Armies of Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of a civilized nation.

Womynz oughta be regulated. If these men had universal basic intercourse, we could evolve beyond emotions.

I thought men had already done that - no?

* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.

* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.

* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.
